A spokesperson for the Health Department said the city as a whole has not been seeing more mosquitoes than usual, but any increase is likely due to the double whammy of LaGuardia’s waterfront location and construction: “It’s located right by the water, right by the bay, it’s getting warmer and it’s been raining and humid.”

Despite having had the misfortune of flying out of this misbegotten garbage heap two weekends in a row, I have not personally suffered any mosquito bites. However, I have seen a yellow plastic tarp with a hose in the middle that seemed to be collecting water leaking from the ceiling in a terrifying preview of our Mad Max future, as well as a line for taxis so long you’d think they were giving away free Supreme merchandise.
